5 lbs Calcite pH Filter Media – Acid Neutralization
This 5 lb Calcite filter media is made from naturally occurring calcium carbonate. Its slow reaction rate allows for controlled pH correction, making it ideal for treating acidic water.
-
Flow Requirements:
-
Backwash: 8 GPM per sq. ft. of tank area
-
Service flow rate: 6 GPM
-
-
Tank Compatibility: Enough media to fill an 8" x 44" tank system (see product description for additional tank sizes).
-
Maintenance: Media typically needs to be replenished annually, depending on pH level, water usage, and water chemistry.
How It Works:
When acidic water comes into contact with Calcite, it slowly dissolves the calcium carbonate, raising the pH. This process helps reduce the potential leaching of metals such as copper and lead from plumbing systems.
Advantages:
-
High uniformity coefficient for maximum contact and controlled pH correction
-
Slow reacting for better control
-
Affordable solution
